The banking world is often portrayed as a grim and daunting sector of the economy, painted by broad strokes of skepticism and mistrust.
But is this portrayal accurate?
4 years ago, I ventured into creating a startup based entirely on providing accurate information about banks.
Little did I know that it would lead not only to an exciting entrepreneurial journey but also to a profound understanding of perceived villains.
A bank isn’t just a financial entity.
It’s an institution that serves as a pillar for many aspects of life – from personal savings to business investments.
Bankers are people too.
However, communication breakdowns and misunderstandings can foster animosity.
That’s where our mission fits in – bridging the gap between banks and people. Banks and businesses.
I have seen first-hand how understanding the world from the perspective of a banker can empower individuals, businesses, and communities.
We need to remember the human element in finance.
Banks are not villains; they are complex organizations that require understanding.
So next time you hear someone vilifying your local bank or investment firm, take a step back to view it from another angle.
